Hi, nice video! One important question came to my mind after seeing the video. With the time , the majority, if not all nodes, will migrate to be on-demand nodes. How you start the process in reverse order: moving on-demand to spot instances, when there are spot instances available. I know I can do it manually, but just want to know if there is an automated mechanism for that. Keep doing great videos!

Thanks! Your question is related to EKS with managed node groups, right?

@@cloudonaut oh yes, sorry I forgot to explicitly mention it

@@nicolasperez3795 I'm not aware of a good way to solve that problem. I guess for a cluster that shrinks and grows every day the problem is not that big. But for more stable clusters you will end up with more on-demand capacity than needed.

True, as long as the cluster in and out that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks
